Not the most, nor the best ofpictures, but here's the complete troll horde I deployed against a slayer army this weekend. Loads of vomit, belching and honourable deaths! Great Fun!

Stone troll going for a stroll!

i never uploaded this character's whole design and im HERE TO FIX THAT!! ! Top right sketch by the amazing Kinseviing (Twitter), rest of the art by me. This is Lawrence, my Vaesen PC, and there's more info about her below the cut.

Lawrence is a Stone Troll. You're not supposed to play as mythological beings, the Vaesen, in Vaesen RPG- you can be an investigator, hunter, religious person, or even a witch, but you're human. Or mostly human. However, my storyteller was gracious enough to go with my stupid idea and let me play as a Servant archetype regular girl most of the campaign. Lawrence, supressing her "inner troll" and making an innate use of her true shapeshifting abilities, posed as a human for almost 20 sessions. Now stakes are getting higher than we thought possible and Lawrence's been able to meet another human-infiltrated troll and a cathedral gargoyle that are trying to help her come to terms with her true nature, an arch that I'm dying to explore further and that my table's managing so incredibly well! Lawrence's caring, big, soft, attentive, strong and a huge lesbian with TWO love interests that are also very interested in one another- her charge as a servant, a private investigator named Dhwani Edevane, and the group's nun, Lydia. The rest of our group includes a writer named Rúna with odd deals going on, and a forest witch, Valentina, together with a bunch of animals, some smaller vaesen and 4 NPCs. They're a little familiy to go back every Thursday. It's been so much fun so far ;;

“Stone Troll”

[chainsxwsmile]

Still wanted to be productive during my art dryspell, so I decided to draw several troll species in Tolkien works and the various physical differences between the three in a field guide format.

Stone trolls— max. 13ft. Capable of common speech; vulnerable to sunlight; often a social species that aggregates in sibling or closely-related groups. No claws; fingernails with fingers capable of dexterous grips and manipulation. Dentition similar to Man, albeit with slightly sharper canines for shearing. Opportunitistic omnivores.

Cave troll— max. 17ft. Communication via growls and rumbles often in frequencies lower than Man can discern, which aids in finding each other in complicated cavern systems. Groups tend to be matrilineal with females and young. Males disperse when of reproductive age. Three-fingered clawed hands make gripping tools and high dexterity difficult but not impossible. Also vulnerable to sunlight, but rarely leave caverns beyond desperate male dispersal (usually males disperse via creating their own tunnel systems). Blunted dentition for feeding on roots, tubers, and underground mushrooms. ‘Jowls’ aid in keeping dirt out of mouth during excavation.

Olog-hai— max. 15ft. Highly intelligent troll species, capable of both common speech, Black speech, and Orcish. Clawed five-fingered hands with great dexterity, capable of holding and manipulating tools. Social groups tend to be matriarchal due to females being of slightly taller, larger size; unlike cave trolls, males do not regularly disperse. Sun vulnerability bred out during the Third Age. Opportunistic omnivores.
